Awesome tip: make View Code default double click action on a WinForm control

Here is something I wish I’d known years ago – you can make the “View Source” action default when you double click on a WinForm control.

Here’s how:

  1. Right click any Form/UserControl file, and choose Open With…
  2. Select CSharp Editor, then press Set as Default
  3. ????
  4. Profit!

That’s it! Now you won’t break the keyboard when you accidentally double click on your MainForm.cs file.

This also works with components so you can go the the code view and not open the form designer...even sweeter!

Yeah.. :)
But there's still this urge to right-click, select View Code :)

I can't believe it was that simple.
This is one of the worst things Microsoft did in the IDE.
